Andrews' Endowed Church of England Primary School

About Andrews' Endowed Church of England Primary School

Andrews' Endowed Church of England Primary School sits within the Hampshire local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11. In the East Hampshire area, it ranks 19th out of 31 primary schools, placing it in the middle of the pack locally. The top-performing peers in the same district include Preston Candover Church of England Primary School, Our Lady and St Joseph Catholic Primary School, and St Faith's Church of England Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The school's ranking score of 65 puts it in the top 50 nationally by its tier, though within the wider South East region it sits at 878th out of 2,034 primaries. Across all Hampshire primaries, it ranks 120th out of 425, a solid but not standout position. With 189 pupils against a capacity of 210, the school is not at full roll, and 9.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, slightly below the national average for primary schools.

Academically, Andrews' Endowed performs respectably at Key Stage 2, with 65% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This is above the Hampshire local authority average of 61%, suggesting the school is delivering outcomes slightly ahead of its peers in the area. In individual subjects, 70% met the expected standard in reading, 75% in maths, and 80% in writing. Higher attainment is more modest: 5% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, with 20% reaching that level in reading, 15% in maths, and 15% in writing. Average scores were 104 in reading and 103 in maths, both close to the national average of 100. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, with behaviour and attitudes judged Outstanding. The previous inspection in 2016 also rated it Good, so the school has maintained a consistent standard over time.

The school offers a range of facilities including an ICT suite, dining hall, sports hall, art studios and a chapel. Sports provision covers rounders, gymnastics, swimming and cross country, while clubs extend to gardening, drama, eco club, art club and coding. SEND support is broad, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language issues, hearing impairment, multi-sensory impairment, physical disability, autistic spectrum disorder, and other difficulties. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed: 45 applications for 25 places, with 24 first-preference offers made. This suggests strong local demand, and families who value a Church of England ethos with a Good Ofsted rating and above-average KS2 outcomes will find this a solid choice. The lack of nursery provision or sixth form means it is purely a primary option, but its broad SEND offer and varied clubs make it suitable for children with diverse needs and interests.
